Transmission Fluid Evacuation Service:

Transmissions in commercial vehicles, SUVs, trucks and vans – particularly
those used for hauling or towing – are subjected to severe-service
operation and increased heat. Elevated temperatures cause fluids to
break down, allowing damaging metal-to-metal contact and the formation
of sludge and deposits. The problem is worse in modern transmissions
with more gears, clutch packs and narrow oil passages that require
clean, high-quality fluid to achieve maximum performance and life.

AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is
specifically formulated to withstand the rigors of heavy towing, elevated
temperatures and challenging terrain. It remains fluid in sub-zero temperatures
and provides reserve protection during heavy use and even
abuse.

AMSOIL Tech Tip: Transmission Fluid

Proven in 180,000-mile, Severe-Service Taxi Fleet Field TrialTo demonstrate its effectiveness in severe service, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle
Synthetic ATF was installed in Las Vegas taxi cabs. The vehicles routinely encountered
demanding stop-and-go driving loaded with passengers and cargo, while the
desert environment presented extremely hot ambient temperatures, placing enormous
strain on the fluid. Following 180,000 miles, a transmission was selected for analysis.
The Aluminum Beaker Oxidation Test (ABOT) is an industry standardized test used
to determine a transmission fluid's oxidation resistance, which is a good indicator of
its service life. Testing by an independent, third-party lab revealed that after 180,000
miles in severe service, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF resisted oxidation
longer than required for new fluid to meet the Chrysler ATF+4 specification (see
graph). Internal components, including the valve body and clutch plates (pictured),
were virtually free of damaging sludge, deposits and wear, confirming the lubricant's
high level of protection for severe-service applications.

Protects Against Thermal Breakdown
Signature Series Synthetic ATF is formulated with high concentrations of antioxidants,
making it naturally heat resistant. It provides outstanding protection against sludge
and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing.
After 180,000 miles in severe service, fluid analysis revealed Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF contained 83 percent of its original oxidation inhibitors, proving
its long-lasting resistance to thermal breakdown.

Outstanding Wear Protection
Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and extreme
stress on gears and bearings. AMSOIL formulated Signature
Series Synthetic ATF with high film strength and premium anti-wear/extreme-pressure additives to help prevent wear during severe
service. In the industry-standard FZG Gear Wear Test, Signature
Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF that had been used for 180,000
severe-service miles achieved a “Pass” at stage 12 – the highest
stage. The results exceeded the Ford MERCON V and Chrysler
ATF+4 specifications for new fluid, demonstrating the lubricant's
long-lasting wear protection.

I drive a 2002 Honda Odyssey. This is a heavy van that's actually classed as a light truck. However, it has only a car-type transmission. My mechanic recommended that I switch to Amsoil Multi-Vehicle ATF which would better tolerate the high heat in this hard-working transmission. He also recounted knowledge of premature failures in transmissions similar to mine.

I switched to Amsoil ATF at 127,000 km (79,000 miles). I immediately noticed that the shifts were crisper and quicker. I now have 226,000 km (140,000 miles) on my van. The transmission continues to work like new. It has never needed any repair. The ATF always looks fresh: bright pink color and sweet smell.

I recommend AMSOIL ATF for its excellent service even in demanding applications.

I've never had any issues with Amsoil products and I've used them for a long time, nor have I had any issues with this Amsoil ATF fluid. Can Amsoil inform their customers of what constitutes synthetic oil to be considered "Full Synthetic." I was informed by the GoPure Power Company that processes oils and makes billet oil filters that manufacturers who make synthetic oil are only required to have 24% additives in the mix for an oil to be considered "Full Synthetic." That's very illuminating to know. If this is true, then synthetic oil companies save about 70 cents on each quart but double the price of the oil. There's probably a reason this information is kept from the consumer public. The Pennzoil vs Castro and AV1 court cases of the 90's shed some light on this. Anyway, I'll probably switch to a mineral oil in the future.

This stuff is great! So far, I have used it in a Dodge that requires ATF+4 (165k miles), a Ford motorhome that requires MERCON (42k miles), a Jeep that requires DEXRON (186k miles), and a Honda that requires DW-1 (169k miles). It was originally installed in all the vehicles over 10 years ago, and after all that time they are still going strong. I have done nothing to the transmissions except for periodic fluid changes. The fluid stays red and shift quality is great.

Motor oil, manual transmission fluid, engine coolant & differential fluid. When I bathe and install my new spider gears in Amsoil gear oil I will have an idea of the Amsoil improvements. My 4.6l runs better for sure, however, I am not finished improving yet.

I only use Amsoil fluids for my 2005 Mustang GT. I use the ATF for my 5 speed manual transmission and change the fluid about every 3 years or so ( plus use ATF for steering fluid). Shifts are always smooth even in cold weather and the dealership usually comments on how clean the old fluids are when they drain them out !
